Week 1 discussions

Politics in Our Daily Lives (graded)
As we read and discuss the definition of politics, let’s also consider the
consequences of political decisions upon our daily routines.
Can you think of a time when a political act impacted your daily life? What
made this experience political?
As we begin our discussions, let’s not forget to comment on each other’s
posts. Can you see any similarities in your situations?

The Study of Political Science (graded)

Our text mentions that Political Science “seeks to study human behavior
through the use of a scientific method that, at times, can prompt objections
and debate.”
If this is true, why do you think this is the case? Please be sure to provide a
specific example from the text to support your response.

Week 2 discussions

Types of Power (graded)

If politics truly defines who gets what, when, where, and how, then those
that succeed at this game must have some advantage in doing so. This
advantage comes from power.
So, what is the definition of power? And what types of power are utilized in
the political realm?

Theories Regarding the State (graded)

Chapter 4 begins with a description of Plato’s allegory of the cave. As we
focus upon the ethical questions concerning the role of the state this week,
let’s take a closer look at this parable.
What is the setting of the story? Who are the main characters? And what
major events transpire?

Week 3 discussions

Ideologies Compared (graded)

This week your Critical Reflection Paper compares the concepts of liberalism
and socialism. To best prepare you for this assignment, let’s take a deeper
look at the variations found within liberalism. Classical liberalism is based
YOU CAN ALSO VISIT: WWW.HWSPEED.COM

upon the work of John Locke and Adam Smith whereas modern liberalism
focuses upon the work of T.H. Green.
So, what are the differences between these two forms of liberalism? And of
the two, which do you agree with most?

Fascism Explored (graded)

Your text states that fascism is “an ideology that introduces totalitarianism
as the objective of political decision making.” Its practice stands in
opposition to both liberal and socialist ideals. So, what does fascism have
against individualism, family, and pacifism?

Week 4 discussions

The Supreme Court (graded)

The lecture this week suggests that the Supreme Court is the least
democratic branch of government, and yet it serves an important function in
our democracy. What are the advantages and disadvantages of having a
branch of government that is not democratically elected? Would you change
the way the court is appointed?

Democracies Compared (graded)

Over the past few weeks, we have had the opportunity to explore the roots
of political philosophy. Let’s take a moment to focus in upon the idea of
democracy. So, what is the true definition of democracy?

Week 5 discussion

Parliamentary versus Presidential Systems (graded)

As we turn our focus to the international realm, let’s take a moment to
compare the governmental systems of the UK and the U.S.
Identify a few key differences between a parliamentary and a presidential
system. How is the top leader selected differently? How do you think this
difference impacts the kind of people who are chosen?

This section lists options that can be used to view responses.

THE ROLE OF THIRD PARTIES (GRADED)

Third parties in the U.S. are notorious for their lack of success.
So, can anyone explain why this is?
week 6 discussion

CHALLENGES TO WESTERN DEMOCRATIC IDEAS (GRADED)

People in democratic societies would like to think the process
would/could/should work everywhere. But sometimes when democracy is
exported, it’s rejected in the most emphatic and sometimes violent ways.
What is it about the idea that people in non-Western societies don’t like?>

ETHNIC VIOLENCE (GRADED)

In discussing the concept of violence this week, let’s take a moment to
consider the following situation.
Imagine a country where religious factions inside a nation want to have their
own separate homeland. The government refuses, claiming the territory in
question, which commands the nation’s only source of clean water, is vital to
security. Is violence inevitable?

Week 7 siscunn

The European Union (graded)

In considering the international realm, let’s consider the concept of economic
treaties. Specifically, let’s think about an organization like the European
Union (EU). Why was it formed? In addition, what are some of the objectives
of the nations that are joining the EU?

Global Markets (graded)

Several countries around the world are transitioning to a market economy;
the most significant of these are China and Russia. What do you think the
impact will be on other countries around the world as these two countries
become even more significant in the global economy? What are some
examples of this impact?
